In 2013, I stepped out my apartment door on what should have been an ordinary day. But something urged me to pause. I had long carried a longing to name the entertainment start-up I’d been envisioning, something to capture its essence, something from beyond the mind.
So I asked.
It was a genuine request to the subconscious, not expecting a reply, since silence was more common than response. But this time, I heard something.
It came slowly and clearly, letter by letter:
C — E — R — N — I — A
Surprised, I turned around and walked back inside to my home office. I typed the word into a search engine, half-expecting nothing—and discovered ‘Cernia’ is the Italian word for a fish known in English as the Grouper.
It was perfect.
Not because of the fish itself, but because it tied directly into my core theory about high-level songwriting and creative resonance. The grouper is a group fish. And I’ve long sensed that the most potent artistic breakthroughs don’t come from isolated genius. They emerge when a human being, especially in altered or out-of-body states, taps into a group mind, a collective intelligence beyond the limits of any single personality.
Shakespeare is a perfect example. His work radiates the depth and nuance of an intelligence that feels too broad, too multi-layered, to come from one individual. I believe Shakespeare—like many true artists—channeled something collective, timeless, and perhaps even trans-dimensional.
Cernia was born to explore this.
The Transmission Window
Another central premise is that for the body to function as a receiver for creative genius, it must retain a certain watery, youthful pliability. This is why many mathematicians, musicians, and songwriters do their most impactful work well before their intellectual peak.
Think of Bob Dylan, who at 31 released his last universally resonant anthem:
“Mama, take this badge off of me. I can't wear it anymore. Mama, bury these guns in the ground. I can't use them anymore. ~ Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, 1973
Or. Aaron Copland openly admitted that when the faucet stopped flowing, he chose not to compose from his educated mind. He simply waited. He waited for the transmission that never returned.
Others do keep writing. But we feel the difference. It’s tolerable, sometimes skillful. But rarely magical. Rarely soul-activating. Rarely… Cernian.
Cernia is a Premise, a Portal, a Practice
The guiding idea behind Cernia is simple but radical:We are multidimensional beings who belong to communities on other planes of existence.
What we call “inspiration” is often the echo of group consciousness working through us. Real-time collaboration with aspects of our Oversoul, ancestral mind streams, or future selves.
And sometimes, you’re the only one in the group who has a body here.
That makes you the portal. The one who brings it through. The physical conduit for an ensemble that may span many dimensions.
If this sounds a bit like the Mastermind principle—where people channel insights from Einstein or Tesla during focused creative work—that’s no accident.
But Cernia goes even further. It isn’t just mental.
It’s vibrational. Somatic. Emotional. Artistic. Hypnotic.
Cernia offers a new vision of creative identity.
Not ego-driven. Not AI-generated. But soul-fueled, multi-layered, and group-anchored.
It’s the sound of one voice carrying the intelligence of many.
It’s a frequency you recognize in your bones.
And when you feel it—you’ll know:
You’ve touched the Cernia Field.
